1. Purchase a plain white or cream-colored chef's apron.

2. Determine the size of fabric you need to make the handprints. Use about a 6-by-6-inch square for kids and an 8-by-8-inch square for adults.

3. Iron fusible fabric webbing to the back of your material.

4. Make turkey handprints by tracing around hands on the fabric (see "How to Make a Handprint Turkey," under Related eHows).

5. Cut out the handprints.

6. Iron the turkey handprints onto the apron.

7. Use fabric paint to paint around the edges of the handprints and to paint on eyes, wattle, beak, and trim on the feathers.

8. Print the name and age of each handprint maker underneath the prints. Print "______'s Little Turkeys" using the recipient's name - Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa and so on - in the space at the top of the apron.

Tips & Warnings

• You can also make the handprints by dipping hands into fabric paint and pressing them directly onto the apron.
• When the apron wears out, cut out the handprints, make new handprints, and place both on a new apron to show how everyone has grown.
